Sensing the sadness on her face, the smile on Bei Xingchenâs face disappeared.
âWhatâs wrong?â
Zuo Weiyi raised her head and looked at her with a smile. âToo many things have happened recently. He and I...are getting a divorce.â
Hearing this, Bei Xingchenâs eyes widened completely!
âDi-Divorce?!â This time, Bei Xingchen couldnât hold it in anymore. She shouted out loud and even jumped up from her seat!
Zuo Weiyi was frightened by her action and quickly pulled her to sit down.
âDo you have to be so loud...?â
Bei Xingchen sat down again with a melancholic look on her face. âDarling, you donât have a fever, do you? You want to divorce Shi Yuting? Heâs the president of an entire country now!â
Why did she not want the position of First Lady? Was she insane?
Zuo Weiyi only sighed at her best friendâs shocked expression before lowering her eyes. âA lot of things happened...â
âWhat kind of things? Could it be that he has another woman?â Bei Xingchen leaned forward and asked softly.
Zuo Weiyi raised her head and was a little shocked by her words. Shi Yutingâs explanation yesterday suddenly rang in her mind.
A moment later, she lowered her head. âNo.â
âThen, did he abuse you?â
Zuo Weiyi raised her head at her best friendâs words. âHow is that possible?!â
Although a man like Shi Yuting was ruthless in the eyes of others, he would never do such a shameless act of abusing her.
âDoes that mean that he doesnât love you anymore?â
Zuo Weiyi looked down again. She hesitated a little when she thought of the recent events. But in the end, she still said, âNot really.â
So, Bei Xingchen had no choice but to say, âHe didnât cheat on you; he didnât abuse you; and he doesnât not love you anymore. So why would you want to get a divorce? My dear, have you gone crazy?â
Seeing her best friendâs confused look, Zuo Weiyi fell silent and told her roughly what had happened during this period of time.
Bei Xingchen could not help but widen her eyes again. âYouâre saying that because of your one mistake, your mother-in-law is now lying in the hospital in a vegetative state?â
Zuo Weiyi was not surprised by her best friendâs reaction.
She looked down and nodded.
âAnd just because of this, Shi Yuting wants to divorce you?â
âNo, not him...Iâm the one who proposed it.â
Bei Xingchen was puzzled when she heard this.
âWhy would you bring it up when he didnât even mention it?â
Zuo Weiyi did not answer as she looked at her best friend.
When she proposed the divorce, it was mainly because she had misunderstood that he was with another woman. Plus, she was in so much stress and pain. Even though she now knew the truth, it didnât change the fact that she was suffering when she spoke of the divorce.
âMy dear, youâre pregnant now. Youâre pregnant! What, do you really want to live alone with your baby like those romance novels?â
Zuo Weiyi looked up at her suspiciously. âHave you read such novels?â
âOf course. Although itâs very nice, itâs only a novel. Itâs an illusion! I donât want you to learn from the novels!â After saying that, Bei Xingchen picked up the cappuccino on the table and took a sip.
Zuo Weiyi took a sip of her lemonade as well. Her gaze inadvertently turned to look outside the glass window.
After knowing the truth, her heart was actually in a mess.
Was she really going to get a divorce?
She looked around at the street scene outside the glass window, feeling a little lost
